Hi John, all. I thought the Little 500 bikes were Huffys. Pretty low end but certainly levelling the playing field. I believe there's a scene where Christopher is customizing his team's bike: drilling out the stem and perhaps? repacking some bearings? Cheers. Billy Ketchum, Chicago.
Anyone know what kind of (sort of on topic ?) bike the Cutters rode in the Little 500 ? Looks like a Columbia with all steel parts, coaster brake too. I checked the archives but didn't find anything. Just curious.
